Set in mid-1930s' fascist Italy, this film is based on real-life anti-fascist author/painter Carlo Levi (Gian Maria Volonte). Carlo is exiled to a remote region of Southern Italy, which was populated by peasants. The simple life–and wisdom–of the peasants had an impact on him and his thinking as he began to have a new appreciation of them and their way of life.
